Get label of the plugin select2

klermann

Hello Allan, how do I get the text of the plugin select2, because the plugin is sending only the value in order and need to capture the value of the label. How should I do? I tried to do this: "conf._input.text(val)" only it returns the entire list.

I don't know Select2 inside out I'm afraid - you might need to direct this question at their support channels, but try: conf._input.find('option:selected').text().

Just came across this, looking for my use case. If you don't have direct access to conf, also try

this.field(fieldname).inst().find(":selected").text()

where this is the editor instance

inst() gets you access to the select2 component, then see https://select2.org/programmatic-control/retrieving-selections and note the cavaet.
